But the 'Manager' had drivers so can't blame Covid, its a lack of training before they start that seems to be the issue. If you can't get skilled drivers but do have a supervisor, the supervisor should be maintaining standards.
I'm wondering where you are now?
Good replies so far, thanks. I briefly had a whinge to manager man a couple of months ago, he mumbled something about COVID and a lack of skilled drivers......it kind of makes sense because I didn't really have any problems with the construction of the bales last year. I wonder if it's going to be the same story with another contractor? Afterall, they all rely on seasonal workers coming in from UK/Ireland.
Does challenging terrain make the job harder for them? Some of my paddocks are pretty horrible, I certainly noticed more damaged wrap and funny shaped bales on steep paddocks.
Perfection seems to go out the window the moment you rely on someone else to do a job.
Certainly not the cheapest, nor is it "a" man....more like a family owned contracting/dairy farming empire.
I would love to withold some money, the problem is the bales were made and paid for 9 months ago.
